I am helping a player build a mystic adept possession based character for my campaign. As such, I have realized there are some questions I can’t answer or may contradict what the book is stating.

1. If a spirit possesses another player, the spirit is dual natured. Does that mean the host (who can’t perform actions themselves and really just ‘watches’ as things happen) count as being able to astral perceive events or is it just the spirit that counts as dual natured? (Which is the way I think it works).
2. As a follow up, the same mage possesses himself with channeling. They don’t have astral perception; do they now have access astral perception through the spirit?
3. It’s clear that their PHYSICAL stats go up equal to the force of the sprit, regardless of Channeling. How many IP’s does a channeled mage get?

Thanks
